The Cambridge Glass Company of Cambridge, Ohio, was incorporated by five individuals. Three men associated with the National Glass Company: Myron Case.

During the first years the ware produced by the Cambridge Glass Co. came from molds previously used by other glass companies and was typical of the glassware of the period: table sets, jugs, bowls, molasses jugs, jars, tumblers and lamps.During its peak years, Cambridge had as many as 700 employees working three shifts with all three furnaces running at full blast.In 1954, Mr. Orme decided to close the plant, ending one of the best and most prosperous glass companies the world has ever known.In very good condition it measures 1 1/2 inches deep, 8 3/8 inches long and 5 inches wide. A great addition to any Cambridge Glass, Depression or Pink Glass Collection.SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions please contact me and thank you for looking
